Festival Friday Merchandise Booth Application

2026 Festival Fridays!

Thank you for your interest in participating in Festival Fridays as a Merchandise Booth. These booths are craft, artisan, and cottage industry type booths that allow small businesses to sell their product at a mini-popup festival.

Festival Fridays is a popup Festival with food trucks, merchandise vendors, live music, and family activities. The event features 4 different festivals hosted in various communities throughout the summer and early fall. The events are themed and tailored to complement the location where they are held. Some of the themes could be specific to the town/village and others might be a fun competition event that highlights the food industry. The framework of the event design is that it will include 5 trucks, a live entertainment, merchandise booths, and maybe even a car show. Hosted from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. it will be a short and packed with activities.

The merchandise booths are designed to be retail driven and unique. Wholesale products are not the intention of this market as well as information booths to sell industrial products. This is an artisan and retail merchandise booth program. Additionally, food vendors and drink vendors are not included in the merchandise booth program. If you are looking to sell food and food products, please join us as a food booth following the guidelines by our health department. Cottage industry food or pre-packed food is allowed under this merchandise booth application.

The upcoming dates are available:

  • July 24 at The Kalamazoo Farmers Market from 5:00-9:00 p.m.
  • October 9 at the Kalamazoo Farmers Market from 5:00-9:00 p.m.

Please fill out the survey accurately and completely so we can assign dates that will best fit your operation.

Thank you and we look forward to working with you!
